Chapter 62 : Someday

I managed to successfully escape. I decided to skip school all together. Since I have nothing better to do, I decided to ride to the mountainside with my uncle's no... our bike. But first I need to get back home to change clothes, as this uniform has bought me a fair amount of trouble.

the feeling of being one with the wind and the view on the country side is an easy 10/10 for me. even more so that it's on a sunny day. since it's still early in the morning almost nobody passes this road. but suddenly I felt a presence in front of me.

The humming of an engine, and the screeching of a tire. it's the legendary Hachi-roku. I never thought I'll see it in real life. and it's drifting ever so elegantly, but the problem now is it's coming straight at me without slowing down.

As it's about to hit me, the car tilted, and miss me by a margin. God damn he's good. I was not scared. not even one bit worried... Okay I lied, that was terrifying but awesome at the same time. even though I'm sure I won't sustain any damage even if it hit me.

---

after riding for some time, I finally found a rest area overlooking the mountains. It's beautiful and breathtaking. it's a shame even though I didn't bring anything with me to eat or drink. I could ask Romulus to bring it to me... on second thought never mind. Roma knows what he's doing right now.

as I was sitting down in a bench, suddenly

*BANG*

a wild monster fell right in front of me.

This is a man in a costume right !?

Then there's a man in a blue suit flying in the air preparing an iconic kicking move. and then *Boom* the kick landed, and the monster disappear.

*Clap clap clap* I clapped, I didn't believe I would see something like this today.

"Nice Mo--"

Before I can finish my compliments, he ran to the edge, hopped to a flying train and disappear as if he's never there at the first place...

This mountain is dangerous, no wonder it's sealed off from the public. As I was prepared to leave, I saw a vending machine for drinks that's still operational, no... it's sus... I better stay away from it!

As I backed away slowly towards my bike.

"Hold it right there..."

A mechanical voice rang behind me... oh what now? as I turned back one of the people that I don't want to meet is right behind me.

"My name is Aigis... I'm an investigator of supernatural occurrences, backed by the government... Pedestrian, have you seen anything suspicious?"

I pointed towards the vending machine. I swear the vending machine is giving me menacing aura.

"I failed to understand... is this a joke?"

Do I look like I'm joking to you? can't you see the aura? as I pointed at the vending machine, only then I realize it's gone....

"Shit. It's gone, you must have seen a vending machine right?"

"I advice you to get your mental health checked..."

I felt a tick mark in my forehead and then I got a bright idea...

"That's it! I'm kidnapping you, get on the bike!"

"!?"

---

And that is how I ended up kidnapping... Hijacking... you know what it doesn't matter. She's coming home with me.

"Where are you taking me..."

"My home. There's someone waiting for you there."

"I shall inform you that I'm not a child and will not fall for such tricks."

This android is getting on my nerves.

"Unusual shadow activity detected... This town... Further Analysis needed... I shall agree to be in your care..."

changing her mind in a heartbeat.

Arriving at home I can see a car parked in front of it. I wonder who it is.

---

"Daigo-nii, why are you here?"

"Akira! I'm back, and we have the full support of the GUMI clan, so now we're one step closer to uniting all of Japan!"

I'm surprised he's this resourceful I guess that anything's possible when you put your head into it.

"And whose this lovely lady you have beside you, don't tell me you've already found yoursel---"

I walked behind him, hugged him tightly, and supplexed him into the ground, now my brother's head is burried in the garden.

"What is that?"

"Bromance"

"Siblings love... noted..."

Whatever floats your boat Aigis, whatever floats your boat...

---

"So they request my presence?"

"Yeah that's right. They wanted you to come to meet them to officially commemorate the alliance."

"Have you set the date and time yet Daigo-nii?"

"No, I haven't I need to check in with you first. and speaking of which, is Uncle Ryo's house always this big?"

"Maybe you're just tired from the trip Daigo-nii..."

"Huh? Is that so? I would love to go to the station today and check in with Uncle Ryo, but I can't leave two teenagers alone in the house, hence I'll stay!"

another way of saying you're lazy.

"And by the way, isn't this still school hours? skipping school already?"

"..."

ah forget it.

"HAHAHA! Seems like my little brother did turn out like me after all."

ugh, how much I wanted to wipe off that grin in his face.

"School is important... bonding with friends, even more so..."

"See even your girl there gets it."

Laugh, laugh all you want.

---

The Sky is red before everyone else comes back.

"We're back! Ah, Daigo-nii!"

"Haruka-chan!" My brother hugs haruka and lifts her up. Wait don't tell me he's a pedo, and because of that haven't manage to find any suitable suitors....

"NO! Whatever you're thinking! NO AKIRA!"

or so cries the offender...

Nanako looks at Haruka and Daigo, then looks at me expectantly... I just lifted her up, and put her in my shoulder. which makes her smile.

"So how's your day Nanako?"

"Um! It's super fun! we got to see a lot of stuffs, and we manage to shoot a video in green screen! It's like super cool! Ah, and Uncle Sugimaru says that if we wanted to we can be artist!"

"Wait Sugimaru?"

"Maou-sama, it seems that the TV station we are heading to is owned by Sugimaru group, and he's inspecting it today. Dojima-sama, it's a pleasure to meet you in person."

a wild Joshua appears.

"So you're the secretary they send to help Akira? well you do seem more capable. But why have I never seen you before?"

"I joined earlier this year maybe that's why."

"huh... is that so?"

Oh no Joshua, he's on to you.

---

As the clock strikes 5, the door opened once more, now it's Yu and Minko, as Minako enters, I can see Aigis's eyes turned from shock to disbelief. she darted as fast as possible towards Minako, and hugs her tight.

"You're not going to dissapear again are you...?"

Minako simply nods and stoke Aigis's hair, as both of them thumble down after the Aigis's Tackle...

"Another one?" Asks Yu.

"Long story."

As Yu came inside the house, I can see semething I'll never forget, a vending machine, across our house, it's piercing glare that says 'buy something from me'. as Yu close the door, the Menancing aura of the vending machine fades with it....

Maybe I'm just tired yeah?
